There's an old adage that after falling off a horse, one should get up and immediately get back on that horse. That may hold true for an equestrian approach to life; but I had reservations that it applied to life in a pulpit ministry.

Two years, however, seems a better time frame to me.For ministry--not horse riding.

It is with great pleasure and pride, I can announce that I have been elected the new Pastor at the Spiritual Enrichment Center in Chico, California. And I am particularly proud to be one of the new Hybrid Revs moving across the spiritual platforms from Religious Science International to United Centers for Spiritual Living and back again.

As a very young girl, I often dreamed of a way that I could somehow publish and share my feelings and creative ideas. Short of saving up enough money to take out a full-page ad in the NY Times, I did the best I could with telling my story or the occasional burst of poetic overflow to those near and dear to me.

Take a breath. You are welcome to join me.
